Adjust font size:

The China Foundation for the Welfare of Handicapped People has raised 3.34 billion yuan (about US$321 million) for assistance to people with physical disabilities since it was founded in 1984.

 

Over the past 22 years, the foundation has helped improve the situation of a large number of handicapped people.

 

Those who have received aid from the foundation include 4,652 poor and deaf children who have regained their hearing ability with an acoustic on; 3,580 handicapped school dropouts; and a large number of others who are either blind or unable to walk.

 

Business people including those from Hong Kong and Taiwan have donated enormously to the foundation.

 

A foundation spokesman said 95 percent of the donation that is received in a year is used for assistance to the handicapped.
